Can any numismatical contributor give me any information as to the
recurrence elsewhere, &c., of the following types of coins in my
possession:--
1. A coin of the size of Roman 1 B., of the province of Macedonia
Prima.--_Obv._ A female head, with symbols behind, and a rich
floriated edge: _Rev._ A club within an oaken garland: Legend in the
field, [Greek: MAKEDONÔN PRÔTÊS].
The type is illustrated by Dr. Horne, in his _Introduction to the
Study of the Bible_, in explanation of Acts, xvi. 11, 12. The specimen
in my possession is in _lead_, finely struck, and therefore not a
_cast_, and in all respects equal in point of sharpness and execution
to the silver of the same size and type in the British Museum; and was
dug up by a labourer at Chesterton, near Cambridge. How is the metal
of which my specimen is composed to be accounted for?
2. A 3 B. coin apparently by the portrait of Tiberius.--Legend
defaced: _Rev._ The type known by collectors as the altar of Lyons:
_Ex._ (ROM)AE ET AV(G.)
3. A 3 B. of Herennia Estruscilla.--_Rev_. The usual seated figure of
Pudicitia; and the Legend, PVDICITIA AVG.
According to Col. Smyth, Akermann, and other authorities, no third
brass of this empress exists; but the specimen before me has been
decided as undoubtedly genuine by many competent judges.
4. A 3 B. coin of the Emperor Macrinus, struck in some of the
provinces.--_Obv._ A bearded portrait of the emperor: Leg., AVT.
K.M.O.C.C. MAKPINOC: _Rev._ An archaic S.C. in a laurel garland, above
L and beneath C. I am anxious to know to what locality I may ascribe
this coin, as I have not been able to find it described.
